What is CVE-2024-31469?

The buffer overflow vulnerabilities present in Aruba's Central Communications service expose systems to significant risks by allowing unauthenticated remote code execution. Attackers can send specially crafted packets to the PAPI UDP port (8211), leading to the execution of arbitrary code with elevated privileges on the underlying operating system. This highlights a critical security concern for organizations using Aruba access points that utilize the PAPI management protocol, necessitating immediate attention to security patches and implementation of best practices for network safety.
